In principle yes, but some companies measure more parameters than others, eg, DxO with tailoring their adjustments to the combination of lens and camera (ie, lens+AA+UV+IR cut filter), or Adobe...

You were incorrect in saying that Aperture provides no distortion correction for m43 lenses (and several compact cameras, eg, the Panasonic LX series). Those manufacturers designed their lenses at...

I fully agree, I have PTLens but I basically never apply it because it breaks the non-destructive workflow (not undoable, takes up a lot of disk space) and creates an additional master. And...

I've always wondered for any product that has a release cycle of multiple years, are the developers working all the time on the new version? Take the Xbox as an extreme example, did they really...

Do you have any information that things have changed since two years ago? Without any other relevant information, I have to assume that things are similar today as they were two years ago. If it...

Sometimes flaky, yes but a crapshoot, no. Here is a very reputable professional photographer testing one of them: Rob Galbraith.

I admit, having prior knowledge that other solutions exist makes it more obvious to just ask Google (sorry, I couldn't resist). Generally, these devices have been found to be a bit less reliable...

You can export one folder/project level, see the following screenshot: You can also retain all folder levels but it will take some work: add the name of the folder as a keyword to every image....

I've seen the claim that WiFi direct also allows a device to quickly switch between two WiFi networks such that it is effectively connected to two networks (even if one of the two networks is only...

Yes, but buying a FW800 drive today should include thinking about how to access it (over a fast connection) once you upgrade your computer to one without FW800. While basically every device with FW...

Yes. And this applies for other backup tools as well (eg, those that create a bootable backup). Yes. But keep in mind that external drives are not encrypted by default, if you want to encrypt them...

The article doesn't really mention the semiconductor division at all, it basically only talks about consumer electronics. And consumer electronics and semiconductors are quite different businesses...

And none of these are BIF (birds in flight). I have done BIF with a MF 400 mm, I got some that were reasonably sharp but none were perfectly sharp.

You could have a look at the benchmarks at macperformancguide.com (scroll down to Reviews to get some general starting points for different current machines). The benchmarks used can partially be...

Spotlight comments are proprietary to OS X. You are asking how to tag images without the use of one the good tagging applications (ie, LR). Of course there are others (Aperture, Photo Mechanic,...

I agree with you, you were oversimplifying it. As I said, the problem with your explanation is that the OP will still think that unedited = master, which is simply wrong because you can have...

Aperture internally tracks its images (the masters to be specific) by import date and time and by the original file name (if you let it rename the master image files it uses the new name, appending...

To hopefully make that point perfectly clear, there is no history in regard to image adjustments in Aperture in that for any given set of slider positions the resulting image (from the same master)...

My problem with this kind use of terminology is that if you then create a second version you have two (identical) versions and thinking of one of them as the master is simply wrong. It would be...
